James Roger reports participation waning at Memorial Day ceremonies in his day but he also is too busy to attend them. I wonder how much this all changed when World War I came about.

I'll be interested in finding out. I'm not sure how many years are spanned in the diaries.

It was worth the 110 mile drive to New Ipswich to see old friends and pay homage to the veterans. Ollie and I took our friend Lance DePlante to dinner Tues. I knew a Stan Maynard and Ted Leighton in the 50s. James Roger was quite busy so I don't hold it against him.
